then I will have to play 1v1s which is in fact bit hard for me also I have to spend time reading the changes, I enjoy being an eco bot in TGs... and also geriatrix is a bit careful nowadays, kind of stealthy because @Dunedan is involved. so I am able to peacefully play 0AD now.

This is exactly what happens to me, people ignore me because Geriatrix only selectively target people he dislike and people like us don't want to insult others too, so they think they are different and immune, when they see me in trouble they have tendency to ignore the affected person and pretend there is no problem and some people go beyond that they even mock me for having a problem there are big examples and big names but I don't want to fight everyone in the gaming community. so silently suffering, if the community was big like we are playing 10 20 TGs a day we can ignore people and don't join their games but right now to get a challenging game we need these people, I am considering moving to other games like AOE2 and AOE4 and learning it slowly, but I like 0AD more because it's build by people without big corporate money.

well said

This is not a big deal, it is a big deal only if someone use it as weapon. you all know who it is maybe I should not mention his name here.

maybe we will have to change the title then "The Geriatrix Issue"

It would help you could look beyond the duplicate accounts and contact the real person behind the action and may be talk to him or arrange a counselling or medical attention for him.

The problem is that people tend to whitewash the behavior of players like Geriatrix because he plays very well, while ignoring or harassing people like me. This issue has an easy fix: well-regarded players in the community need to take a stand against individuals who cause trouble. I’m referring to respected players like @Player of 0AD, @Havran, @Aslan , and @MarcusAureliu#s, who are equally admired by both sides. Unfortunately, they don’t take that stand. Instead, they often form alliances with Geriatrix in one way or another and attempt to demean or discredit moderators who are genuinely trying to help. For instance, @Norse_Harold put in significant effort to resolve the situation in a way that avoided harming either side, yet his efforts were met with a campaign to mock him. If I were to echo the same complaints that Geriatrix sings against moderators and developers of the community mod, I would be seen as a “good person” in Geriatrix's eyes—just like the "well-respected players" mentioned here. But I choose to stand on the side of truth and justice, even if that makes me a bad person in your eyes. I've almost stopped complaining about Geriatrix because the attitude of many so-called OP players toward me made me question whether I am the problem here. However, I can see now that I am not the only one affected.

I wouldn't be mad about it or unhappy but yes, I get your point

@Seleucids you gave enough reasons for @Norse_Harold to be proactive against you, don't deny it. @ChronA may be you can be a bit more respectful. I know Yekaterina was angry at the bureaucracy in 0 A.D., but he should have shown more respect toward the developers. 0 A.D. is not just a hobby project; it is a flagship project for free software games. We often blame everything on the developers, much like Software Test Engineers blame developers in tech companies. If you don't understand how it feels to have your work insulted, you've likely never written code for anything serious. Exposing vulnerabilities and taking advantage of 0 A.D.'s limited manpower to fix issues is irresponsible. Treating it like child's play damages trust. If I had to resolve such issues under a tight deadline, I wouldn’t trust someone who exploited the project's limitations, ever. I hope you both get along well. But that's just my opinion. I know you both personally, and you know the real person behind this account. You are both very smart people. I believe the generation gap might be the issue here, which gives @Norse_Harold more responsibility in resolving this conflict. I've been in fight with teenagers and crazy people like shyft and geriatrix, @Norse_Harold should know that @Seleucids is more reasonable than those guys, but to be honest @Seleucids you are a mysterious guy, I am still forcing my mind that Geriatrix and shyft is not Yekaterina's alternate Egos.

Unit silhouettes should not be visible to the enemy if our army is inside the woods

I was trying to meme that

2004, it was only 10 years ago lol. I am an old man now.

@Dunedan this could be "THE" solution for many players problems. A new weapon for the host against the arrogant player who wants to hold the game hostage. @Norse_Harold may be we should work for programmatic solution than making Geriatrix change his behaviour.

I am reporting a person who have an army of fake accounts and it is clear violation of terms and no action from moderators

I'm not blaming the host but rather the person who held the game hostage. The host had no option other than to ban me, while Geriatrix had the option to mute me if he didn't want to see my messages. The messages I sent were intended for others, not for him. I've already muted Geriatrix and stopped communicating with him directly, but whenever I unmute him, I see messages he's posted about me flooding the lobby. It almost seems like he’s using a bot to continuously insult me in the lobby. His relentless messaging is causing me mental distress. I believe there should be a rule in 0AD to protect people from this kind of harm. He is attacking my peace of mind, confidence, and reputation by spreading lies against me.
